Lineup Insights

The Wave

Works best on long-period SW/S groundswells with ENE-NE offshore.

NE winds tidy up peaks while stronger onshores from the W-NW mess up the lineup.

The break holds across tides but low-mid with a rising swell often produces the most defined sandbar peaks.

Lineup Guide

Restricted access and occasional base activity keep crowds lower than nearby breaks, but expect shifting sandbars and strong rips near the jetties.
